Text Box: R.E.A.C.H. (Reaching Each Academic Class’s Homework) Mondays and Wednesdays; after school until 5:00 R.E.A.C.H. meets at the Worthington Middle School to provide a safe learning environment where all students can find homework help and support. Students can become involved by just asking in the front office. Parental permission slips are required. Snack and transportation are provided. Parents Advocating for Students’ Success (PASS) Community Education, along with the schools and other community agencies have implemented PASS to encourage parents to be involved and help them take a participatory role in their child’s education. The program is based on the Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE) program with the philosophy that all parents love their children and want a better future for them. This course consists of nine classes over nine weeks. It is hoped that by parents completing the program they will be able to create a home learning environment, navigate the school system, collaborate with teachers, counselors, and principals, encourage college attendance, and support a child’s emotional and social development. Transportation and child-care are provided.
